It’s a dream coming true. I remember watching the Olympic final in 2004 Denmark vs South Korea. They were so close that they had to end the game in a penalty competition and from that time on I wanted to be as good as the goalkeepers in that match.

Representing Team GB in front of a home crowd against Russia.

Does not talk to anyone before a game to get "in the mood".

Rivals:

This is Britain's first women's handball squad, so they face a tough challenge when they play any of their rivals from Europe, where the sport is much more popular.
